We ( mature couple) stayed here totally unplanned and we didn't want to leave the place. The panoramic views from the lounge/conservatory are amazing - its so peaceful and tranquil a place . Its very deceptive from the outside and its very well planned inside. If you are a couple looking for a relaxing private break - its just right, If you are a family with young children needing space - it must be good too as there is an outside barn play area and a new swimming pool this summer 2017.The facilities in the kitchen we very good and much more equipment than in many gites - there is a dishwasher and washing machine and good outside drying area if you need it. There is a good range of kitchen utensils.The showers are modern and the bedrooms have good storage. There is a superb outside seating area and gas BBQ - as well as loungers and chairs and table to relax on too. Gary and Heather has a high quality Gite, well planned and thought out.There is a good information booklet and also if you need any advice Gary and Heather they have lived here so they have a good local knowledge it but if you just want peace and quiet they are very aware of that too - they seem to strike the right balance.The gite is in a rural location but a drive away are the forest and the restaurants that offer good value plat d jour or evening meals if you don't want to cook/BBQ .Compared to other Gites in the area this is a high standard and well equipped place with a large private space outside with great views.We stayed here for 2 weeks and the weather was mixed - but the TV and DVD was there on rainy days - or a nice comfortable chair to sit and read - there is a collection of books to chose from. When it was hot it was nice to sit outside and watch the cows in the fields and the sheep next door... We found as time went on we enjoyed just staying in and relaxing we didn't feel we wanted or needed to be out all the time because we felt relaxed and chilled out so much here.We would recommend it - and want to return ... we have no hesitation about that.Its a real credit to Heather and Gary - as it takes hard work and imagination to have such a place like this .

I have been to Le Jarrier Gite several times now and it is always a delight to come back. Heather and Garry are most welcoming and helpful and the Gite has everything you could want, and more, to ensure every comfort during your stay. The weather was wonderful, enabling me to enjoy trips out to many places of interest within less than an hour from Le Jarrier and quiet, relaxing times in the Gite, with its wonderful views from the lounge and private garden. Looking forward to returning next year!

Once again, we returned to the best equipped gite we have ever stayed in. Heather and Garry have made Le Jarrier into a 'home from home', and the new wifi connection is excellent. Le Jarrier is in a beautiful and peaceful location, and with the private pool and garden, it would be tempting to stay put and just relax. However, there is lots to see in the surrounding areas; from the Lake and sandy beach at Sille, to the beautiful Alpes Mancelle. We will certainly be returning soon!

This is a great place to stay and wonderfully equipped with a range of toys and games for both indoors and outdoors. Stayed here for 8 nights and although raining when we arrived, the weather was great after this and we made full use of the outdoor facilities. The children (6 & 3) loved playing with all the games, running around the huge garden and especially the watching the animals, Geo the cat being the personal favourite and much time was spent with him......he kept coming back for more attention though so must have enjoyed it. The other animals provided much entertainment, particularly the goat and chickens and this added a really fun element to the holiday. We visited the local markets, Chateau Sassy & Carrouges which are both good for an hour or two although the lake beach at Sille has to be the local highlight - great beach and excellent facilities.

Overall, a good location and very comfortable and well equipped gite for a great family holiday.

My family and I had an amazing holiday at Le Jarrier Gite. The house is fully equipped with everything you could need. The garden was amazing and kept our 3 year old son and us entertained. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and all the garden games as well as feeding the chickens and Dora the goat. We had day trips to the local lake/beach which was only 10 minutes away and thoroughly enjoyable. We also enjoyed trips to the zoo and theme park which were only an hours drive away. I would definitely recommend Le Jarrier Gite to friends and will hopefully stay here again..
